To the masses of our people in the occupied south, To the bodies, and political organizations in Yemen To the United Nations Security Council To the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference To the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council
Because of the consecutive successes that the Southern Democratic Assembly (TAJ) has achieved in unmasking the Yemeni occupation regime before the international bodies, the power states and the regional associations, providing evidence and facts of the falsehood of the regime’s allegations to unity, demonstrating the rights of our people in the south to freedom, self-determination and to building its own free independent state and restoring to all of its pillaged wealth. Also it has the rights in prosecuting the occupiers wherever they may be found. Due to all these successes and to the difficulties of the Dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh’s regime as it is staggering before our public’s struggles and steadfastness in the face of the occupiers. Also before the cohesiveness and unity of the live forces in the south and its increasingly pressure, (TAJ) has noted in the recent times that the Yemeni regime has made some attempts of exercising a policy of leaking idiotic news. These news claims that the Southern Democratic Assembly is a terrorist organization. Sometimes they volunteer in issuing a frail narrative and drafting statements declare that (TAJ) decided to adopt the armed struggle against the occupation forces and (TAJ) has formed its armed wing, other times.
These exercises of the Yemeni regime reflect the big failure which, the occupation authorities experienced due to the escalation of the liberating movement of our people. It is also explicit the recognition of the great successes which, has achieved by our organisation (TAJ) at the international level. It is a clear indication of the real fear of the occupying regime of the near future expected duties and liabilities towards southern people which, will be imposed by the international community as well.
The Southern Democratic Assembly (TAJ) confirms that it follows all the peaceful forms and methods of struggle recognised by all religions and by the charters of the United Nations. Hence (TAJ) would like to stress on the following:-
1. The rights of our proud people to struggle for the emancipation of the state of perpetual military occupation and emancipation of the backward tribal regime of the Dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh.
2. (TAJ) has Strong belief and full conviction at the full capacity of peaceful struggle to achieve the noble goals of our proud people, by employing our energies and capabilities, and escalating our peaceful struggle up to the full civil disobedience,
3. (TAJ) has not any relationship with what is published here or there, claiming the adoption of the armed struggle’s method. Also asserts that it has not any military wing neither in the past nor at present.
The Southern Democratic Assembly (TAJ) is convinced that the regime which, was established on the base of terrorism, has hosted terrorist groups ,sponsored and led to the spread of terrorism all over the world from Kenya and Somalia southward through the Arabic peninsula and Iraq to the United States northward, will not hesitate to fabricate and create news and information that would harm its influential opponents specifically (TAJ). We expect that the Yemeni regime will go beyond those false statements to the implementation of a number of attacks and terrorist incidents as what happened during the recent presidential election, so (TAJ) calls all southern Yemeni people and the interested in the Yemeni issue for vigilance and caution for such terrorist plots and schemes.
We are sure that the regime of the Dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh neither be able to cover up the occupiers’ crimes that they have committed against our people and our nation in South Yemen, nor can always blackmailing neighbouring countries. The world will not accept the regime of Sana’a to continue to host and sponsor the international terrorism and to threat the security and the stability of the entire international community.
The hour of the reality has got close and it will fascinate the world at its explicit facts and the tyrant will find no escape from punishment ... inevitably he will be unmasked and vanquished in all circumstances.
The Southern Democratic Assembly (TAJ) renews its commitment to the masses of our proud and brave people to move forward in its struggle hard and relentlessly for the rights to uproot the occupation of our country and never tire or will rest until we achieve the eternal emancipation of our people and our nation of the tribal backward, military occupation of the state of Sana’a... only we rest on that day when the flag of freedom and independence fluttering throughout our proud south which is very soon , God Almighty.
